Frank was so responsive throughout the process while we were trying to nail down dates of our out of town travel. Just when I didn't think we would have a sitter, he reached back out to let us know that he had a cancellation and was able to host our three dogs at our home for the dates we requested.

Frank was so responsive throughout the process while we were trying to nail down dates of our out of town travel. Just when I didn't think we would have a sitter, he reached back out to let us know that he had a cancellation and was able to host our three dogs at our home for the dates we requested. We got updates and I felt very comfortable leaving them with him; our older dog is pretty shy around new people, but seemed to take to Frank right away. He was incredibly easy to get a hold of and quick to respond. I would definitely recommend Frank to anyone looking for someone to care for their puppies!

I am not certain who is happier or more comfortable when Frank arrives - my fur babies or me! Upon our introductory meeting, Frank's gentle, calm demeanor soothed all of us, including our very timid Riley. Moving to a new house in a new state had both of our doggies' schedules out of whack. Frank has alleviated their anxiety (and mine) with walks, exercise, feedings and plenty of love. He is extremely reliable, trustworthy and a ...

Frank has alleviated their anxiety (and mine) with walks, exercise, feedings and plenty of love. He is extremely reliable, trustworthy and a very talented "Dog Whisperer." I recommend he and his services as highly as possible. Your pets and your piece of mind are in great care with Frank. We are grateful for him every single day.

I am a Registered Nurse with many years (34) of experience and also former law enforcement. I am now retired. I am a responsible, reliable and trustworthy, non-smoker. I am a pet parent - six Chihuahua and Chihuahua-mix dogs - and so I know how to care for your animals. Interacting with your pets will be a privilege and a joy, not a chore. I am of a calm, resourceful and reliable disposition and believe that in entrusting your home/pet to me you will be able to travel or work with complete peace of mind knowing your dogs are getting the special care and attention they need and are safe.

I am a Registered Nurse with over 33 years of critical care and other experience. Believe it or not the same observation skills we use for our human patients can alert us to when our animal babies are not up to par or just need a little extra attention.

I have 6 Chihuahuas and Chihuahua-mix babies of my own and 3 of them were rescued from being euthanized. Three of them are special needs dogs, two of which due to thyroid problems.It is important to me that our family members are cared for the way we care for them .... and I know that is important to you as well.

Why I love dog sittingI have been blessed with a best friend since 1965 when I talked my parents into my first, a beautiful Alaskan Malamute mix. I have welcomed dog's into my home ever since. I have experienced the joy and companionship, laughter and loyalty they have to offer ever since. A part of sharing life with them has inevitably included the heartbreak and loss of letting them go. And that has been because of cancer and other health problems, old age and, yes even theft. At the end of the day I would never have chosen to not spend the time we had together with any of them.

My experience administering medicationYes I am. I have two of my own to whom I have to administer thyroid medications twice daily. In the past I have given many medications to my babies for various medical issues ranging from simple allergies, stomach upsets and infections to more serious conditions such as lymphoma. But then I have been a Registered Nurse in critical care for humans for 33 years. Why wouldn't I do the same for my best friends?

What Frank would like to know about your dog

I want to know what things make them comfortable and happy. What kind of interaction from humans just makes their day? Likewise, what fears do they have and what dislikes and sources of discomfort are specific for them? If they are "picky" eaters I want to know how to encourage them to get the nourishment they need.

When Frank watches your dog

Time I'll spend with your dogGenerally I can get an idea of when they are satisfied ... tummies full, pottying accomplished, exercise and playtime needs met. The more time I have to get to know them, the more attuned to this I become. I will spend the time necessary to make them happy.

Extra house-sitting servicesAbsolutely! Let me know how and when you need things done and I will be happy to help you out.
